Their role is important...most important depending on the system

But the number of skilled guards is exponentially greater than post players Think about it this way. How quickly would Ben Hammond be in the NBA if he were Dorn's height? Its extremely rare. If Victor Wembanyama were 5'11 he'd be playing at Presbyterian. The amount of skill as height grows is an inverse relationship. So if you can provide value with height, it is extremely valuable and everyone is looking for it
